Lyrics All It Would Take - Semisonic

All It Would Take

There was a time when I believed
That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me
There was a time when I could see
A straightaway line for someone, somehow to wake me
But innocence gets paid in flames
And dreams of change waste on the vine
When all it would take is
One voice, one light, one hand
Writing the words of
One choice, one fire, one pen
Changing the world within me and around me
Changing the world within me and around me
That’s all it would take
There was a time when I could fly
I’d open my mind and nothing was above me
I felt I could climb the mountains high
But then when I reached the summit, was it just me?
The darkest night in disbelief
And hope could fade or start to ignite
And all it would take is
One voice, one light, one hand
Writing the words of one choice, one fire, one pen
Changing the world within me and around me
Changing the world within me
Who would have known that’s all it would take
Within me and around me
Changing the world within me
That’s all it would take
There was a time when I believed
That all it would take is one look, one heart to change me
